useful for describing highly educated policymakers whose decisions affect everyone else except them =P
不管是黑猫或是白猫，能吃老鼠的猫就是肥猫
inspired by Botero's sculpture that once sat outside e Singapore Art Museum.
current boss once treated e lab to a dinner buffet at Goodwood Park Hotel, where I got addicted to e green tea mousse cake & polished off around 5 slices of it....eh wait did I stop counting after 5? =P sparked off e not exactly successful hunt for green tea mousse cake, but I found this at Meidi-Ya @ Liang Court basement.
100ml of hot water + a lot of stirring + 200ml of milk + a lot more whisking + hours in e fridge = a very satisfied cat =)

tak3 zhir1 kiang4 kiang3, sim1 gua mm3 giang3
my dad's version, used to describe highly educated policymakers who are disconnected from e masses & have forgetten how to feel for e people, especially when e changes they propose do not affect them e.g. those formulating public housing or transport or university education policies but have neither lived in a HDB flat nor taken e bus/MRT daily before & send their kids to overseas universities....
(N.B. no idea how to indicate e tone for 'gua' for 'sim gua' using e 4-tone Mandarin pinyin system as Teochew has 8 tones)
